Karma Camera: Letter to my body

April 5th, 2011

It turns out writing a letter to my body was easier than you might think, but also very emotional. We have been conditioned from a young age to take our physical appearance very seriously and with that comes a lot of pressure. From an early age we create limitations and expectations for our little bodies. We compare, judge and analyze. Often our self esteem is threatened, challenged and shaped by external perceptions, creating an inaccurate and unrealistic sense of self.

What if we took the time to look at who we really are and what our bodies really mean to us? What it can do rather than what it can’t? The strength instead of the weaknesses? The unique beauty instead of differences?

Happy International Women’s Day: Who do you think you are?

Not too long ago we spent an afternoon asking young women about themselves.

How do you thank your ancestors for breathing, dreaming, living and fighting?
How do you thank them for bravery and for love?

How do you take away the pain and push past the indifference?

Stream of Consciousness: Karma Camera says let’s talk about SEX, baby

February 7th, 2011

“Sex is emotion in motion” – Mae West

Let’s talk about S E X. I wanted to have a candid, honest, vulnerable conversation with young people about sex. I wanted to find out what you found most embarrassing, what you were most affected by and how much you actually knew about the taboo subject. I also decided to make the experience even more memorable and sensitive by asking our participants to answer questions while naked, as if the topic wasn’t personal enough.

Stream of Consciousness: Karma Camera looks at Diversity with Degrassi

January 13th, 2011

Who are you? How do people see you? How are you different?

In the latest Karma Camera we challenged ourselves to give attention to our own diversity. Not just the colour of our skin or where our parents were born, but also our personal distinctions. Taking back the words, phrases, or derogatory experiences we’ve had that have challenged our diversity. Looking at our own and other people’s past perceptions of us turned out to be dramatic, funny and often painful. I gained an interesting new clarity about how deeply affected I was by social experiences during my formative years and just how far away that seems now. Funny, at the time it seemed like my whole world.

Stream of Consciousness: The Karma Camera falls in love

January 4th, 2011

We spent an afternoon asking you very personal, intimate, borderline inappropriate questions on a very interesting topic: RELATIONSHIPS!! We wanted to celebrate beautiful, healthy, diverse, young Canadian relationships and showcase your feelings on the subject. In preparation and as research for our look at the international state of the girl we’ve been thinking a lot about how young girls (and boys) look at and deal with the challenges they face, including relationships (and falling in love!!!!). We understand that all across the world young people are tackling different issues with different sets of values using different resources, so we decided to start the conversation here and now with YOU!

Stream of Consciousness: Give Peace a Chance

December 17th, 2010

I recently connected with former child soldier, activist and international recording artist Emmanuel Jal while hosting Lt-General Romeo Dallaire’s Zero Force event held at U of T on Human Rights Day. The event included one thousand students from across Toronto and inspired discussion over what actions individuals can take to join General Dallaire’s dedicated mission to complete his brave life mission: to eradicate the use of child soldiers as weapons of war across the world.
